Question about Franz Mentzel
Hi guys
I note that in Luftwaffe officer career Summaries,Franz Mentzel (JG77,JG5...) is credited with 22 victories...22 victories! Unless I'm mistaken,I believe that this is well overvalued!because apart 6 claims between September 1939 and 2/1945,that's all. My queryne of you can confirm his 22 victories? Thank's in advance Michel |
